ITP Unconference

Time/Date: Tuesday Jan 20, 5PM – 6PM

Instructor: Jason Sigal

Description: 

This workshop will empower you to contribute to open source coding projects. We’ll use p5.js as an example. We’ll cover licenses, structure, GitHub etiquette and project-specific guidelines. We’ll look at some of the tools you may need to set up your development environment, including the most popular JavaScript-specific build tools like Grunt and Gulp. We’ll also look at popular methods for writing tests and generating documentation.

Prerequisites: 

Some coding experience is helpful but we’ll also cover contributions that do not involve code, like filing bug reports and adding documentation.
